Erotic (not sure how else to describe it) piece found

My son found what appears to be an old piece of brass or copper (molded) of a "wedding night" between a man and a woman. Did not want to post a pic (it is not that bad) due to the possibility of offending someone. The piece is approximately 4" L X 3" H. It was definitely poured in a mold of sorts and by appearance looks to be quite old. Not sure where to look for help---this is definitely a new twist in my metal detecting adventures. Any suggestions? If someone wants to take a look at it I would be happy to pm them a picture--or point me in the right direction. Thanks P.S. This came from a home circa. 1910--but 150 ft. away is the original homestead circa. 1790
 

Can you post, and block out any and all nastiness? Really hard to tell what it is by words alone.
Plus, I'm naturally pro-erotic.

If it is more than what can be seen on prime time TV or on MTV it will surprise me! :laughing7: Mike & Carol from the Brady Bunch were the first couple to sleep in the same bed on TV back in the 60s.

BCH is right; old erotica can be valuable. Is it an old or modern? Post it.

this is somewhat "erotic". dug this a few years ago. it pretty crudely made,but i don't think its homemade.cast brass or bronze.

a friend of mine found a brass breast plate years ago around chickamauga. it too had an erotic theme and it threw him for a loop when he first found it. without going into too much detail, it was a soldier facing a female, cast in brass. my friend knew his artifacts as he had been hunting for sometime. the way the hooks were attached to the breast plate, the overall way the piece looked, and where it was found told him this was for real. this was of course not issued by either army, but was probably cast when this particular soldier had the money to have this made. he had this photographed and was in relic hunter magazine back in the late 70's or early 80's. i saw the piece myself and it was hard to phathom. you don't think about folks having things like this, much less wearing them, but i guess there were perv.'s back then too. there were probably very few of these ever made, so you probably have a very rare find there.

Its Human Nature!Look at some of the Chinese depictions of Emperors....Large Cents with the "E",changed to a "U",were also fairly common

After all the input I have decided to take a few pics and post them. I do not feel that anyone should be offended---after all it is just art--right? I only used soap and water to clean it off--the green patina is still on and hopefully the picture will do it justice. Thank You for your help--give me a day or two to do this
